INGRAIN AI: Strategy through Execution - The Blueprint to Scale an AI-first Culture

by John Munsell

Most AI books tell you why you should start adopting AI. This book shows you exactly how to do it at scale.MIT says 95% of AI projects fail. Wharton says the biggest problem businesses face with AI is that their training programs don't work. Yet 43% of executives fear their employees are losing skills instead of gaining them.

The root cause, however, is hiding in plain sight. These companies are all letting employees fend for themselves. They have no uniform standard or process for training everyone. They aren't implementing AI at the desktop level, and therefore, they have no way to build collective AI expertise that can be shared, scaled, and turned into successful AI projects.

Without a shared framework and process, it leads to a "blind leading the blind" scenario where initiatives fail and security risks escalate out of control. Those are the problems that INGRAIN AI solves.

Both Wharton’s and MIT’s research proves that businesses are stuck on "how do we make our AI investment produce the ROI we were promised?" INGRAIN AI provides a detailed answer to that question, along with specific and actionable steps.
